What else? Endler's, dwarf gourami, pair of rams, killies...anything in particular you definitely want or want to avoid? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

If you're looking for bettas why not go with female bettas? Or if it just a male betta you're interested in, you might be able to have some of the smaller pigmy corys with him, depending on his personality that is. ^_^

Ferox Enthusiast Posts: 219 Kudos: 187 Votes: 28 Registered: 19-Dec-2003	I have a male betta in a 15 with 5 bronze corys, so smaller corys in a 10 should bbe fine with a betta (it does depend on the betta though). I've heard coolie loaches can be good, and mixed experiences with platys <Vet in Training> Blog under development: http://www.nearlydrferox.blogging4life.com/

gartenzwerfe Big Fish Mrs. Racso To Be Posts: 375 Kudos: 628 Votes: 199 Registered: 20-Mar-2004	This is just me, but in a 10g I'd put: 6 small corys (like black fins) 2 or 3 sparkling gouramis OR a breeding pair of kribs (VERY easy to do) OR a breeding pair of rams (not as easy) OR heavily planted with a school of tetras (like cards or glowlites) for flashes of color OR a betta 6 corys an African dwarf frog or 2 ]<]Dani<]<

Mike R Fish Addict Posts: 593 Kudos: 830 Votes: 322 Registered: 27-Jul-2004	I think Kribs or Rams also or Apistos. However there is a 10 in my garage that's been calling to me and I think I might try Shellies. Have fun, Mike [span class="edited"][Edited by Mike R 2004-09-05 18:46][/span]

Everything I listed above can be a bit more demanding except for the cories.

poisonwaffle Mega Fish Posts: 1397 Kudos: 591 Registered: 11-Feb-2003	I'm making a River Tank out of my 10g, but without the PVC stuff...I'm just arranging a good round current with 2 filters and a powerhead. I've got danios and a hillstream loach in the tank itself...and I've got a betta in a glass chimney in there...so it's an asian tank
